But since then , looking at how many roads are marked , that would make some parts of roads near impossible to use eg a local merging lane : its solid while for more than 3/4 of the merging lanes length. You really want to get out of merging lanes as soon as poss, not wait till last secound eg right hand turn : turning lane marked in solid white except for a tiny section: you would have to stop & slowly maneuver through that small non solid white selection eg solid white in the middle of 2 opposing lanes (2 lane road) . If it was intended not to cross that solid white , there would be double yellow ? I allways thought non-solid white was just to save paint . next question: Can you cross a solid yellow to make a right hand turn, say into a driveway . Ive assumed no .	1101 (13337)

Yes you can cross a solid yellow line to right turn into a driveway otherwize how do you get into it.	paulw (1826)

Thats what I used to do , to get to my old work adress (a residential Street , it wasnt unsafe doing it). Perhaps I was meant to drive a big 5 minute loop to get to the other side of the road without crossing double yellow ?	1101 (13337)

What they do mean is that you are allowed to pass if you do not cross the solid yellow line. While that effectively means no passing in most cases, where there are two lanes to the left of the solid yellow line you are permitted to pass. And a double yellow line means no U turn.

These lines should not be crossed as they are designed to direct traffic flow in a particular direction, often towards a motorway on-ramp or off-ramp. www.aa.co.nz	piroska (17583)

A double yellow line means no passing in ether direction not a no U turn..	paulw (1826)

I said that you are allowed to pass as long as while doing so you do not cross the yellow line. Wake up!	Roscoe (6288)

(to lazy to read the rule book i guess).	tweak'e (69)

Yes you can cross a solid yellow line to right turn into a driveway otherwize how do you get into it. Go past your driveway and safely somewhere turn around then turn into your driveway like you are supposed to. The yellow lines are there for a reason thats its not safe to cross so only a numbnutz would.	prefect (6291)

Show me in the roadcode that statement.	paulw (1826)
